We got this from somebody who is apparently somehow working as an extra while visiting NZ [from France, judging by the email address.] How this came to be, he doesn’t explain, so I’m taking this all with a grain of salt:<\/p>\n
“I’m writing this morning from my hotel in New Zealand, having informations which could possibly be interesting for you. Actually, I’m involved in shooting scenes as a Gondorian soldier (I’m not working today, so I’m writing to you now and will certainly walk around this afternoon).<\/p>\n
“Well, what you will perhaps be happy to learn concerns yesterday’s shootings. These shoots included Viggo Mortensen, Liv Tyler and Hugo Weaving. I’ll try to tell you the most details I can, which is not easy because I was involved in a very little part of the scene.<\/p>\n
“In fact, Mortensen was in a tent with Liv Tyler, bringing him his sword. My task, to me and five others, was to bring Hugo Weaving, dressed in a blue elvish coat, in the tent, announcing him to the two others. One of my fellows had to say something like “Someone is asking your attention”, or anything like this.<\/p>\n
“This was in fact all I had to do : we had to do this 3 time, and that’s all. after that, I think they shooted what was happening in the tent.”<\/p>\n
So, if this is true, we know a bit more about how Viggo gets Anduril back, and that it seems like Arwen and Elrond will both be around together seeing Aragorn either before or after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.<\/p>\n
Demosthenes<\/b> here – just thought I’d add a few quick comments.<\/p>\n
